AFA gets Malaysian spinoff – AFAMY
A little late, but still big news nonetheless. Our fellow otaku brothers and sisters from across the Causeway will have their own version of Anime Festival Asia, dubbed “Anime Festival Asia Malaysia” or “AFAMY” for short. Not many details have been released about the event so far, beyond that the event will be held at Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) from June 9 to 10.
I cannot comment on the location as I have not been to PWTC before but if UMNO holds their yearly General Assembly there, I am sure it should be a pretty good location (though Facebook comments have indicated that it might not be as big as Suntec in terms of floor size). Check back at Animenauts for more news and updates regarding AFAMY!

AFA 2011: New friends, more figurines and an epic Kalafina concert
Most of Animenauts local readers (I think) would probably have gone for the recent Anime Festival Asia 2011 last weekend. Not only did I manage to go for all three days, I also acquired a media pass thanks to the wonderful people at AsiaPRWerkz. So as I slowly recover (physically, financially or otherwise) from the epic event that is Anime Festival Asia 2011, I shall let you guys take a peek at what happened there from my perspective… (I know its a little late but hey, I got it up anyway, right?)

Anisong @ AFAX Day 1 – JAM Project and Ichirou Mizuki
If you think that having second-row seats (B row) is good, think again. Within seconds of Miku Hatsune’s opening performance at Saturday night’s I Love Anisong concert, my eyes were completely blinded by a strategically-positioned stage spotlight.
My name is Glimmerous.Fop, and I got blinded by a vocaloid for ten minutes.
Anime Festival Asia X – The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
The Twitter coverage of Anime Festival Asia X continues unabated and undaunted. Once again, the content there is primary, mostly due to being a great deal more timely.
However, I promised to write something about the main highlight of AFA X Day Two for me, which was what I arrived an hour early for: the screening of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.
